Why You Need Bicycle Accident Attorneys in Michigan?

Michigan bicycle accident claims can involve the state’s three-foot passing rule, No-Fault insurance system, and comparative-fault rules. Insurance coverage may depend on how the crash occurred and which motor vehicle policies apply. A driver may also dispute fault or claim that the cyclist contributed to the collision. Ged Lawyers investigates the crash, identifies available insurance coverage, and preserves evidence needed to support your claim.

  • Ged Lawyers represents injured cyclists, bicycle passengers, and families throughout Michigan. 
  • We handle crashes involving unsafe passing, distracted driving, dooring incidents, and other preventable bicycle accidents. 
  • Our team reviews police reports, bicycle damage, photographs, and insurance coverage to establish how the crash occurred. 
  • We pursue available PIP benefits and compensation for lost income, pain and suffering, bicycle damage, or other accident-related losses. 

Types of Bicycle Accident Cases We Handle

Claims involving drivers who fail to yield while turning, merging, entering traffic, or crossing bike lanes.

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries We Handle

Head And Brain Injuries
A bicycle collision in Michigan can lead to serious head trauma, including concussions that affect cognitive function, memory, and coordination.
The force of a Michigan bicycle accident may cause spinal trauma, neck strain, persistent nerve symptoms, and ongoing physical limitations.
Michigan cyclists often suffer broken arms, legs, ribs, and other fractures that can require surgery and lengthy recovery periods.
Sliding across pavement during a Michigan bicycle crash can cause severe abrasions, tissue damage, permanent scars, and infection risks.
Not all injuries are visible after a Michigan bicycle accident. Internal bleeding and organ trauma may require emergency medical treatment.

Some Michigan bicycle accidents have devastating consequences. Surviving family members may have legal options.

Do I Have a Valid Bicycle Accident Claim in Michigan?

You may have a Michigan bicycle accident claim if another person’s negligence caused your injuries or losses. A driver who fails to give a bicyclist at least three feet when passing, fails to yield, or drives while distracted may be responsible for the crash. If a motor vehicle is involved, Michigan’s No-Fault system may provide PIP benefits to an injured cyclist, depending on the available insurance coverage.

Comparative-fault rules can reduce compensation based on your share of fault. PIP claims also have a one-year deadline under Michigan law. Ged Lawyers can review the crash, insurance coverage, medical records, and evidence to determine your legal options.
